May 23, 2022 PDE Building Equity-Inclusion-Belonging in the Neighborhood Roadmap The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) is creating a strategic roadmap for embedding equity, inclusion, and belonging into educators’ everyday work — and child care providers have the opportunity to share their efforts. (This article was updated on May 23 to reflect a new deadline and rubric information). About The PDE is inviting early childhood education (ECE) programs to consider submitting a promising practice describing an innovative way they are creating spaces for Equity-Inclusion-Belonging (EIB) and/or embedding EIB into their ECE program. Educators can submit their practices online. The PDE team will review the submissions via a rubric and will accept as many practices as possible. Submission deadline is Friday, June 3, 2022. The PDE has created a resource with definitions of equity, inclusion and belonging to support EIB efforts. TweetSharePinShare0 Shares
